I wouldn't use it, either.  I'd use MIT Licence (and maybe waive
inclusion).

For one thing, I wouldn't care to have warranty obligations.

The only reason I mention that is that it's exactly one line long, 
and is obviously open source.  Hey, the people who think Fair Licence is
too lengthy _ought_ to like it, right?

(The gentleman was talking about 'snippets', however.  Calling this
theoretical object of debate a 'work' is technically accurate within
copyright law, _if_ it rises to the level of ownable title at all.)
